Chapter 6: Naraku's Curse and Ethan
Everyone ran in after
Inuyasha.
"Wow! I like his decorating skills!" Fae
said.
"Stop being an ass and help!" Inuyasha barked.
"Ok, ok, your doggyness." Fae stated.
Fae looked
around to find nothing special in particular, except when she found
another room. She looked in the room by herself and once she stepped
inside of it, the door slammed shut behind her. Fae ran to the door
and found that it was locked. She heard her friends run to the other
side of the door also.
"Fae! Are you ok?" Kagome
called.
"Yeah, just get me the hell out of here!" Fae
screamed. Right when Inuyasha unshielded the Tetsaiga, Naraku's voice
alarmed them all.
"Now, now Inuyasha. Don't be hasty! I just
want Fae for a gift, and in return, you can have all of the jewel
shards." Naraku's voice lured on.
Everyone gasped at his
offer. Inuyasha's face then turned brutal again.
"Hell no!
Give back Fae!" Inuyasha shouted.
"Yes, I agree!"
Miroku concurred.
"Shut up monk! No body asked you! But
since you declined on my offer, you will have some difficulties with
getting to her and with her from now on." Naraku hissed.
"What
the hell will you do to her! Fae? FAE!" Inuyasha yelled,
banging on the door.
"Inuyasha, HELP!" Fae screamed,
and then there was no sign of her existence.
"You bastard!
You better not have harmed Fae!" Inuyasha yelled. He then hit
the door with his Windscar, but the door did not break down!
"What
the hell!" Inuyasha yelled.
"Oh no!" Sango
gasped.
"Stand back everyone!" Kagome yelled. She took
out a bow and arrow and struck the door, and it still did not budge.
"How is it supposed to be broken down?" Miroku asked.
"The hell if we know or it would have been down by now!"
Inuyasha yelled.
"Now Inuyasha, try not to panic. We just
have to find a way to bust down this door." Kagome reassured.
"But how?" Shippo asked, sounding a little panicked.
Right then, a strange man ran into the room and shouted, "Stand
back everyone!"
"Who the hell are you!" Inuyasha
yelled.
"Just do as I say!" the man shouted.
"Hell-"
he was interrupted by Kagome shouting 'SIT BOY'!
Everyone backed
up, except Inuyasha, who slammed into the ground. This guy closed his
eyes, put his hands together as if he was praying, and then he held
both hands at the door. Out of his hands shot fire, as hot as lava,
so everyone held their arms and hands in front of their faces. The
door blew up in fire and then blew up. Smoke rose as the man ran into
the room. He then came running out carrying Fae, who was unconscious,
bridal style.
"Get out of here!" the man yelled. He ran
out of the house and out of the building. The rest of them thought he
was crazy until the building started to collapse. Everyone ran out of
the village, watching it tumble into shambles. Once the man and Fae
were at a safe distance, the man gently set her on the ground as the
rest of the group watched the village. The man took off his shirt and
placed it under Fae's head. Fae was pale with what looked like
Sesshomaru's marks on her cheeks, but hers were black and crimson.
Once the village collapsed, the group turned to see the man tending
to Fae. Inuyasha ran to the other side of Fae and crouched by her
side. He peered at her and then stared at the man as if he were a
god.
"How did you know those things?" Inuyasha asked in
bewilderment.
"Practiced my whole life." the man
replied.
"Who are you?" Kagome asked.
"Not an
enemy, I assure you. I am an alchemist. I help all I can, but there
are some things I can't help. Your friend here has been given a
horrible curse, especially since it was conjured up by Naraku."
the man stated.
Everyone looked at him in awe. Shippo ran to a
creek and fetched some water. He came back and slowly poured some
onto Fae's forehead. Fae awoke coughing as she sat up.
"What...happened?" Fae asked between coughs.
"That's
what we would like to know." Sango retorted.
"I don't
remember much. I just remember being struck by some kind of purple
magic." Fae answered, she rubbed her head, for she was fairly
dizzy.
"Don't think too much, it might make you-" the
man warned, but thousands of thoughts ran into Fae's head and it
HURT! She screamed.
"Fae!" Inuyasha yelled, petrified.
The man grabbed her head and cleared her mind. Fae swayed
groggily and saw the man, who was very blurry. His image seemed to
emerge clearer when Fae saw that she did not know the man.
"Who
are you?" Fae asked frightened.
"I'm a friend."
the man said, holding up his hands so she could see that he came in
peace.
"He saved your life Fae." Miroku explained.
Fae
stared at the man as if he were crazy.
"Why did you
save me?" Fae asked.
"It is my duty." the
man answered.
"Your duty?" Fae questioned.
The man
nodded and said, "I help people who need it."
"How
did you help me?" Fae asked.
"I used my powers to break
down the door that your friends here could not." the man
replied. Fae looked at her friend's faces and they all nodded.
"What powers do you have?" Fae asked.
"Alchemy
and some wizardry." the man told.
"You have wizarding
powers!" Fae asked excitedly.
The man nodded.
"That's
brilliant, so do I, at least I think so!" Fae almost screamed
she was so happy. The man neither looked surprised or knowing.
"You
will need somewhere to sleep." the man said, picking Fae up
again.
"Wait one minute! What is your name?" Fae asked.
As the man started walking, he said, "I will only tell my
name to good friends."
"But you said you are a friend
to us. So what is it?" Fae asked, looking behind him to see her
friends following, Inuyasha was beside them though.
The man
looked at Fae slyly and when he looked ahead, replied, "You are
very wise beyond your years. I shall only give you my first name for
now, and that is Ethan."
"Ethan huh? I like it."
Fae said smiling, and even though Ethan looked ahead, he also smiled.
Inuyasha looked at Fae as if she were nuts. Fae looked over at
him and laughed.
